Native Docker Clustering with Swarm

Understanding some Swarm internals

At this point, we checked that the Swarm was operative, by creating a service nginx with 3 replicas:

$ eval $(docker-machine env mg0)
$ docker service create --name nginx --replicas 3 nginx
du2luca34cmy

Afteer that, we found where the net namespace ID of the running Nginx was. We connected to mg0 via SSH to mg0 via SSH. The network namespace for Swarm's routing mesh was the one having the same timestamp as the special network namespace, 1-5t4znibozx. In this example, the namespace we're looking for is fe3714ca42d0.

root@mg0:~# ls /var/run/docker/netns -al
